How it works

The Wairi framework

Wairi is a prediction exchange. You buy YES or NO shares on real-world events; if you're right, each share pays out $1. Below is what happens at every step, end-to-end.

1. Prediction markets

Every market is a yes/no question with a closing time — “Will the Lakers beat the Warriors tonight?”, “Will BTC close above $100k on Friday?”. The current YES price is the crowd's implied probability: 0.62 means 62% chance YES.

You spend $X buying shares. If the outcome resolves your way, each share pays $1. If you bought 100 YES shares at $0.40 ($40 total), and YES resolves true, you get $100 back — a $60 profit. If YES resolves false, the shares are worth $0.

Pricing uses an LMSR market maker — there's always liquidity, prices move smoothly, and the platform's risk per market is mathematically capped at b · ln(2).

2. The dashboard

Available cash

Your personal balance — what you can spend on new bets or withdraw.

Open positions

Active bets on markets that haven't resolved yet. Each row shows your shares, average price, current value, and unrealised P&L.

Cash out

Closes a position before the market resolves — you sell your shares back at the live LMSR price. Useful if odds moved your way and you want to lock in the gain (or cut the loss early).

History

Resolved positions — what you won, lost, fees paid, settlement timestamps.

Funded accounts

If you've purchased a prop-firm account, it shows here separately from your personal balance, with its own equity, drawdown, and daily-loss numbers.

3. Fees

Wairi provides a seamless trading experience by baking all execution costs directly into the price. You receive exactly the shares quoted to you at checkout without any surprise line items.

The LMSR pricing inherently handles liquidity and risk, keeping the market balanced while ensuring creators and liquidity providers are compensated.

No deposit fees. Withdrawal fees vary by coin: NOWPayments' network cost (passthrough) plus a small $0.50 / 0.25% margin.

4. Deposits

Pay in any major crypto. NOWPayments converts whatever you send (BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, SOL…) into USDC and credits your personal balance in USD.

Funds typically arrive within 10–30 minutes after on-chain confirmation. Deposits don't stay at NOWPayments — the platform auto-forwards them to a cold wallet under our control, so the bulk of treasury never sits with a third party.

5. Withdrawals

Pick any supported coin (USDC-SOL, USDC-Polygon, USDT-TRC20, USDT-ERC20, SOL, BTC, ETH, USDT-SOL), enter a destination address, and confirm. The wallet modal shows a live quote: you see exactly how much coin you'll receive and the fees broken out before you submit.

Withdrawals are reviewed by an admin within 24 hours and dispatched via NOWPayments' Mass Payout API directly to your address. We never custody more than ~24 hours of withdrawal float.

6. Funded accounts (prop firm)

Optional. You can buy a funded account that lets you trade with our capital instead of yours. Two paths:

Challenge

Cheaper fee. Hit an 8% profit target while staying under a 10% max drawdown and 5% daily loss. Pass phase 1, then phase 2 (5% target, same risk limits). Funded after both. 90% of profits are yours.

Instant

Higher fee, but you skip the challenges and trade live capital immediately. 85% profit split, same drawdown rules.

When you take a payout, 90% (or 85%) of the profit lands in your personal balance. From there you withdraw normally — same multi-coin flow described above.
